Cheers Joe nice job

Agreed, we compared it to some models sheets I just received and it just needed a few tweaks.
Fans were right about the chin, actually it was the wrong shape.
I hope I can you show you pics soon!

It is NOT in scale with the figures at all. The statue is much bigger.

Yeah, the jawline is the main thing, and the spacing of the eyes. The hair is dead on, and I think this is the first time I've ever seen anyone get those eyebrows EXACTLY right (thickest at the crest and thinner at the ends).

As it is, I don't like it due to the face, but if it's tweaked a little, and the price is right, I would buy it, it's probably the closest thing I'll see to an official Filmation He-Man, with the Filmation Sword at that. I just hope someday Mattel does an official Filmation Power Sword in a weapons pack or with a figure....plenty of Filmation dudes coming to pack that bad boy in with.

Masters of the Universe He-Man with Battle Axe and Shield Mini Bust Paperweight

ONLY 100 AVAILABLE FOR SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON! Keep your papers safe from Eternian winds with the Icon Heroes San Diego Comic Con Exclusive Masters of the Universe He-Man Mini Bust Paperweight! Based on the 1980's Filmation television series, He-Man wields his battle axe and shield atop a Castle Grayskull tower base defying evil. Designed and sculpted by Joe Amaro and the Four Horsemen, this complete piece comes with sheath and Master of the Universe logo. Cast in high quality polystone, the He-Man Mini Bust Paperweight stands approximately 10 inches tall from the bottom of the base to the tip of the axe. This makes a great addition to any desktop or Masters of the Universe collection.

Using Filmation model pictures from Carol Lundberg's post, I made a comparison shot of the bust with the face model pics:

He-Man Face - Profile and Front:

I think Joe did a great job on his bust, but there are definitely some adjustments that can be seen from the comparison pics that need to be made to a future attempt at the Filmation style.

1. The hair wave needs to be decreased.
2. Eye brows need to curve up more, and be thinner in the middle.
3. Less white around the eyes, more white within the pupils.
4. The jaw size very slightly increased.
5. Possibly most important, below the nose the profile should be flat, not slanted outward.

The bust is terrific, but would really like to see Joe try just the face again on a possible future project. If anyone can make an accurate Filmation He-Man, he can.
